[MODER] Is Harder Now

[Riitoken]

So, I ran a bunch of test fights against Moder. Earth pillars no longer work. The AI is smart enough to fly atop and breathe down on you.

Also, the earth pillars do not block her breath.

Also, earth pillars do not block her left/right wing melee. She essentially hooks a wing around the pillar.

Also, the Moder summon circles seem to now be on very unlevel ground, always. So leveling everything with a hoe is now a world of work.

Also, as before, no stone building offers shielding. She can crush it.

Also, arrow damage seems to be weaker.

Dig out a trench under her spawn so that the earthen portion holding up the spawn makes it kind of like a mushroom, but surrounded with earth. Build a workbench and a couple of bonfires. Summon Moder. Jumped into trench, and cheese away.

Who is in the trench? Me or Moder?

Where are the bonfires?

Has someone tried out if Yagluth can blast through Earth walls, too?

You’re in the trench along with the workbench and bonfires. Moder will land on her spawn to attempt to reach you. The fire will damage her, but she can’t damage you. 👍

The last time I fought Yagluth he couldn’t blast through earth walls, but the meteors made it not worth to jump in and out.

The video will show you the trench, but I make mine with smaller gaps; I don’t dig it so wide. That way I can hide from Moder’s attacks while retaining the ability to repair the bonfires as they deal damage.

You can even use a bow to damage her when she's flying and / or when she's on the ground. Just pop out of the trench, shoot and the moment she turns her attention to you, retreat under the altar, which will lure her to sit on top of it.

Well I took 12 tamed 1 star wolves. Moder never landed until all the wolves were dead from breath. So the devs changed the AI.

Also noticed that moder tends to land on very unlevel ground now. So melee is very difficult.

I don't like the arrow cheese methods.

Is there any material that can block Moder Ice breath?

The Silver Shield (preferably fully upgraded to Lv. 4) worked like a charme on my first
and last encounter with her.

Are you saying you just stood there and blocked the icebreath?

Yes i did, because i know what i have seen and what not :P

EDIT: But i was also talking from the Ice breath while she is on the ground
and not in the Air, just to take away a misleading situation.

I don't know about anything of blocking the Ice breath while she is in the Air,
except to not get hit from it.

I understand.

On the ground it is Ice Breath.

In the Air it is Ice Storm.

What about her melee swings? You were blocking those? or Dodging?

This is the way.

I tried this early this morning. It really is like a mushroom. And it takes forever to arrow her down. At the end with maybe 5% of health I jumped out and used silver spear and shield.

How about you don't cheese? Literally seems like you tried every cheese method in the book, why?

If she still gets stuck all the time when she lands then she is still a joke of a fight.
